On the first day of the sixth lunar month, Yinzhen was taking a rest and there was no need to go to court early. Therefore, they got up early, paid their respects to the Queen Mother and Concubine De, had breakfast, and left the palace for Fangshan.
Fangshan is located in the southwest of Beijing, facing Xiaotangshan to the north and south, but its area is dozens of times that of Xiaotangshan.
The reason why Xiaotangshan became famous in later generations was firstly due to its geothermal resources, and secondly because the Forbidden Garden Palace was built in Xiaotangshan during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
But Fangshan is different. In later generations, Fangshan was an independent urban area in Beijing, with a vast area, a large number of people, and rich resources. In the current Qing Dynasty, although it was not yet part of the inner city of Beijing, it had vast landforms, attractive scenery, and rich resources.
, it also attracted many nobles and royal families from the upper class of the Qing Dynasty to buy land and build houses here.
The royal family built palaces, and ministers and wealthy merchants built villas. A large part of them were used as dowries for daughters to marry and new houses for sons to marry. The land in Fangshan was divided up very quickly.
Especially in recent years, Yinzhen and Xiao Yu have been rushing to buy a large piece of land in Fangshan Circle, which has caused the land price in Fangshan to rise. But even if someone is willing to pay a lot of money to buy it, there is no vacant land. Unless these two people
A big landowner is willing to sell. However, it is obviously impossible. Yinzhen's enclosure is to lay the foundation for the commerce headquarters, and Xiao Yu, needless to say, is to leave a way out for himself.
Think about it, although the Xiao family has a huge industry, the risks that the head of the family bears are also not small. What's more, although Xiao Yu is the only direct descendant of the Xiao family, not all the Xiao family elders unanimously support him. Some of them also support the second family and the third family.
After all, they are both direct descendants of the Xiao family. Why can you, the eldest brother, be the head of the family, while the second and third parties can only hold hands and become the queen?!
Therefore, after getting along with Yinzhen, the bright-minded Xiao Yu learned from Yinzhen and invested in real estate. As Yinzhen said, this real estate is good. Even if you can't make money with money, you won't invest it just because you say it.
If you have some spare money, it can leave you with a foundation. Even if the Xiao family loses his share, he can still rely on these scattered real estate purchases in his spare time to create a foundation that is completely his own.
So, he kept a close eye on Yinzhen's actions. Wherever Yinzhen bought the land, Xiao Yu's land could always be seen nearby. Not to mention the Fangshan area, the two of them were like a couple vomiting.
You buy one piece, and I take one piece; I take one piece, and you add one piece... Within two years, the idle land in Fangshan area was divided up by the two of them.
Of course, as the prince of the Qing Dynasty, it was better for Yinzhen to be less involved in such matters. Therefore, the one who came forward in the early stage was Luo An. After Luo An was transferred by Yinzhen to Jiangnan to expand business affairs, the one who came forward was Qin Langyue.
.When I bought the land, I had lots of dealings with Xiao Yu.
Therefore, Qin Langyue was also invited to attend today's gathering. Along with him was his right-hand assistant Dou Erdun.
After not seeing each other for half a year, Dou Erdun has grown a lot. As soon as the handsome fifteen-year-old boy entered the gate of the flower villa, he immediately captured the hearts of many maids present.
"This boy is quite good at pretending." In the other room, Jin Xi had no time to sigh, "My family has a man who has grown up." In the other room, Xiao Yu's teasing voice rang out.
"Pretend? Pretend? What are you pretending to be? Erdun has always been like this. You, on the other hand, appear to be serious, but in fact you are careless." Yinzhen leaned against the railing of the second-floor observation deck with Jin Xi in his arms, and sneered disdainfully. Although yesterday
Jin Xi's assurance in the evening made him feel relieved a lot, but he was still very upset when he saw Xiao Yu fawning over Jin Xi affectionately.
"Ha... this time, I finally know why you are always looking gloomy in front of me. Don't tell me you are jealous? Hey, sister, don't say I didn't remind you. Although he is the prince's elder brother, he has a bad mind.
My son is really young. I have known him for no less than five years, but now he still doubts that I have any intentions for you, my sister. In the conscience of heaven and earth, if I, Xiao Yu, really have my intentions for you, my sister, how could it be his turn... Oops
Hey, a gentleman talks but doesn't do anything... The fourth brother, who is so dignified, is actually not ashamed to touch a common man like this..."
"You're so talkative. You're a common man...how can a common man afford such a luxurious villa with a view?" Yinzhen sneered at the same time, and drove Xiao Yu away from Jinxi with a sweep of his legs.
around.
Seeing the funny interaction between the two handsome young men, Jinxi suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. She then tugged on Yinzhen's sleeves to divert his attention, "Lang Yue is here, do you want to talk to him about the branch?"
Isn't it? As he spoke, Qin Langyue and Dou Erdun had already walked up to the second floor and were walking towards them.
Jin Xi was about to say hello, but saw Xiao Yu, who was teasing and joking with Yinzhen just a second ago, sitting back in his seat without saying a word as if he had changed.
Out of a woman's sixth sense, Jinxi felt that there must be some connection between Xiao Yu and Qin Langyue that she didn't know about. What was it? She suspiciously looked between Xiao Yu and Yuan Qin Langyue several times, and suddenly
, and found that there was a faint blush at the base of Qin Lang's moon ears.
God...it couldn't be what she thought...this, this, this...does Yinzhen know? She suddenly turned her head to look at Yinzhen, and found that he also had the same uncertain and speculative look as she did. Seeing herself
Looking over, he raised his lips and smiled... Well, Xiao Yuruozhen and Lang Yue... could those... be the targets of his defense?
Jin Xi looked at the sky speechlessly. This is great. If the Xiao family knew about it, they would really drive Xiao Yu out of his position as the head of the family. No wonder he had already started shopping around uneasily two years ago.
It turned out that he and Qin Langyue had already revealed their identities a few years ago.
"Ahem... Let me ask you, when did you start?" Jinxi cleared her throat and asked as if nothing happened. Qin Langyue is still the boss of Xiteng Tea House, and will be the general manager of the business branch in the future.
The employee is happy, and as a boss, she has to give a big red envelope no matter what. Not to mention that the person is Xiao Yu, her and Yinzhen's friend at the same time. When happiness is added to happiness, it is natural to prepare a double copy.
"Pfft -" As soon as she spoke, all the tea in Xiao Yu's mouth was sprayed out, followed by a burst of coughing, "Cough cough cough... I said, sister... are you a woman..." How can there be a woman?
Asked like this... Even if one of him or Lang Yue is a girl, she shouldn't ask so much, not to mention they are still the same... Of course, she didn't show any confusion about their relationship.
Or even a disgusted expression, he is very happy! But he shouldn't...shouldn't...
"Why not? Does my Fujin still need you to discipline him?" Yinzhen raised his eyebrows provocatively, with an expression that clearly indicated that Xiao Yu had asked the wrong question.
"...Isn't this a metaphor?" Xiao Yu blinked and saw Qin Langyue's embarrassed look from the corner of his eyes, so he had to touch his nose and shut his mouth obediently.
Dou Erdun on the side looked puzzled, which made Jin Xi laugh for a while.
"Er Dun, help me go to the kitchen to see if there is anything to go with tea..." Jin Xi smiled and dismissed Dou Er Dun, then pulled Yinzhen to sit down next to Xiao Yu and asked directly:
"When did you two get together? Could it be during the three months we went to Jiangnan?"
"Ahem...you are a woman after all..." Xiao Yu wiped his face shyly, really not knowing how to speak.
"Lang Yue is nominally the boss of Xi Teng, but he has followed Yinzhen for many years, and I have long regarded him as an elder brother. If it were not for the true love, I would be the first to object."
Jinxi ignored Xiao Yu's shyness and coquettishness and spoke frankly. Qin Langyue was moved when he heard the silent words.
To be honest, before he met Xiao Yu, he never thought that he would fall in love with a man, let alone that his marriage path would be so... shocking...
Last month, after he and Xiao Yu finally confirmed their feelings for each other, the guilt and shame in their hearts gnawed at their hearts all the time. Not only were they worried that their parents would be sad and disappointed, but they were also afraid that their master, son, and mistress would be despised and despised. The reason why they agreed today
Xiao Yu's suggestion to come to Fangshan Flower Villa for a gathering was not without the intention of being truthful and honest. But when he really faced it, he didn't dare to face it or raise his head.
What he didn't expect was that his mistress would be so... tolerant and generous. In her eyes, this embarrassing relationship was no different from the ordinary love between children. This knowledge made him feel high-spirited for a moment.
There is a lot of relaxation.
"Of course I'm sincere." Seeing Jin Xi being so serious, Xiao Yu straightened up and replied solemnly: "Long Yue is already twenty-six, and I am not young anymore. I will be nineteen after my birthday in July.
, this kind of thing happened, it happened, and I can’t blame anyone. But now that it has happened, I don’t want Lang Yue or I to wrong each other, so I invite you to come together today just to tell you that Lang Yue and I are already one.
By the way, whether you accept it or not, we all understand, but you are not allowed to look down on Long Yue..."
"Pfft..." Jin Xi couldn't hold back her laughter while listening to Xiao Yu's very serious confession and warning, "I'm sorry, I'm not laughing at you, it's really... that... let me ask, who is the one between you two?
No. 1? Logically speaking, Lang Yue is older than you, so he is No. 1. But after listening to your explanation just now, I think you are stronger. Could it be that you let us, Long Yue, become No. 0?
Bar?"
"Wha...what No. 1?...No. 0?" Xiao Yu turned his head in confusion and looked at Qin Langyue, who had a red neck next to him, and Yinzhen, who looked happy, "Do you understand?"
One question, two responses, Qin Langyue shook his head, while Yinzhen nodded.
"Ahem, Erdun is here, let's put this topic to rest for now." Yinzhen covered his lips with his fists and coughed lightly, in time stopping Xiao Yu who was about to ask more questions to him. At the same time, he glanced at Jinxi and warned her not to play tricks on her.
The two of them have been together for too long.
Jinxi snickered twice, sat upright, and stopped teasing Qin Langyue and Xiao Yu, who were still quite ignorant about this matter.
But, then again, the two of them were quite capable. In the short three months since they went to Jiangnan, they joined hands and made a private marriage.
"Well, Yinzhen and I fully agree with your matter, but you have to think about it. There are two elders behind you who need to settle things. It's better not to reveal it easily before you are sure that everything is safe.
So as not to cause disputes." Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Dou Erdun carrying a tea tray of snacks up the stairs. Jinxi stopped teasing them and left this very practical question to Xiao Yu, then asked Qin Langyue.
The current situation of Xiteng Teahouse. (To be continued)
